This is the price Of first class unlim-
tied tickets and places the fare as near
AS may be at the uniform rate of s cents
per mile. Mr.. Fairchild is Dot advised
~ to whether there will be any zeduc-
ton from the above rates for round
trip tickets, limited to 80 days, but even
ut the figures given, it is a reduction
from the rates heretofore given, for in
stance: The former rate fer round
trip ticket to Wells was Sc rs and the
present rate of SO IS would bring the
fare, for the trip to Wells and return, to
SIS 70 provided there is no reduction for
round trip limited ticket.
We are pleasedto note this indica-
ton on the part of the Railroad Compa-
ny to favor the people of Nevada in the
matter of fares, and trust that at no
distant day the Company will see the
propriety of making corresponding re-
duction in freights; for while this de-
crease in the cost OF tsavel is q benefit
to. and will be appreciated by the pub
lie, we believe the Company will incur
no loss as the reduction in rates will be
tully if not more than made up by the
increase in local travel

Martin Golden and his excellent COM
pany We're greeted by a large audience
ON their return To- Palatka last night.
The successful comedy drama, ''Jo,
full of good hits and striking situations.
was presented for the first time and from
first to last won the strictest attention
and heartiest laughter of all those pres
ent. Bella Golden as 10" and Martin
Golden, as Tom Stephens, were very
good indeed. Harry Robinson, the com
edian, was happy in introducing him
self as ''Ignatius Cadwallader Alphonso
Kidd and his comical way of saying
and doing things was COM
plete antidote for dyspepsia. The
orchestra is a very fine one, and the rem
diction of the Willow Song" from the.
Mikado, won the heartiest applause.
Tonight the laughable comedy "A
Night OFF" will be presented, i'm which
Mr.. Robinson will take the leading part.
This will be- the last performance of the
Goldens this season in PaIatka and all
should take the opportunity of enjoying
an evening of genuine fun. Popular
prices of admission, but buttons are not
insured.

THE SUNDAY ORDINANCE.

But One Case Before the Mayor for Vio-
Iation.
The order given by the Mayor last week
that all stores should be closed Sunday.
except those where drugs were sold ex-
clusively, was generally observed by the
merchants on Sunday last, there being
but one case to come before the Mayor,
that of Mr.. II. Kersting, who kept his
drug store open for the sale of drugs
alone. The trial of this case was post
poned until Wednesday morning at 9
O'Clock, in order To allow Mr.. Kersting
to get counsel.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cowen was brough be-
fore the Mayor for having the front door
of her store a jar ON Sunday morning, but
she explained that she was compelled to
open the door in order to see how To
cook her breakfast, and that she absO-
lutely refused to sell any goods whatever.
No case was made out against her.
The streets were about as quiet as they
were ever noticed ON Sunday. The news
stands were closed and even the boot
blacks suspended operations for the day.
Such thing Us cigar or glass of soda
water was an impossible luxury, for
none We're offered for sale.

more weird the tropical scene surround
ing us. The air was So warm. balmy
and soft that We sat without our over
coats or wraps ON the deck of the boat.
and felt as comfortable as did Lorenzo
and Jessica when soliIoauizing in the
moonlight of Italy. The trees were
loaded down with Spanish moss. which
hung like sable silver beads from their
numerous branches; the palmettoes. with
their tall round trunks. bore aloft their
palmy heads in the moonlight and the
only things heard were the rush of the
steamer through the water and now and
then the splash of some animal in the
water.
We awoke To find the river narrowed
SO that at times our boat seemed to al
most touch the banks, and so that We
could now and then see a great ugly
crocodile lying upon the shore or scurry-
ing through the water to get out Of the

THE CIRCUIT COURT.
Floyd Howard. Charged With Rape,

HAoyo AAo"EAuf vvAsn As0Pcs on
Trial.
Judge King opened the Circuit Court
for Putnam for the second week at IL
O'Clock yesterday morning. The regular
jury was impaneled, and the machin-
cry of the Court put in motion, when a
recess was taken for dinner.
Immediately after the noon recess the
for the purpose of trying Floyd Howard,
charged with rape, was commenced. The
regular venire was soon exhausted and
forty-five bystanders were summoned
before the twelve good men and true"
could be agreed upon. BY O'Clock the
jury was completed, and the trial was
begun.
Floyd Howard, the prisoner, is an
intelligent looking lad of seventeen
or eighteen years of age, and during the
progress of the trial yesterday afternoon,
took the hveliest interest in what the
witnesses said, and the frequent contro-
versies over the evidence INDUCED in by
the attorneys. He is neatly dressed, and
is much winter than when he was ar
rested some months since.
The trial occupied the attention of the
court until IL O'Clock last night, when,
after able argument on the part of the
counsel on either side, the case was given
to the jury when they retired to make
up their verdict. Owing to- the lateness
of the hour we cannot give the result OF
that verdict this morning..
The noted case of the State VS.,
Henry Virgins, charged with murder
will be taken up and tried for the second
time this morning. This trial will occupy
| two or three days. Two or three hun
bred jurors have been summoned from
which To select the Jury
